Answers to review questions in the book On these pages you find the author’s answers to the review questions presented at the end of each book chapter. Hopefully they will be of help if you are uncertain about how to answer some of those questions. Any- way, some of the questions can be answered in different ways, so do not consider them as an absolute key. In general, when answering questions in structural geology (and most other fields within geology) sketches that in simple terms explain what you mean tend to be useful. A few are presented here, more could be added for more complete answers. Chapter 1 6. What is kinematic analysis? Kinematic analysis is the analysis of particle movement 1. What is structural geology all about? without considering the forces or stresses that caused it A big question that can be answered in many ways, but (involving forces makes our analysis dynamic). It can here is one attempt: Structural geology is about the be performed at any scale, from finding the sense of structures, such as faults, shear zones and folds that shear from a thin section image to determining nappe form as the lithosphere deforms; and about the forces, translations from kilometer-scale folds. stresses and processes that cause lithospheric deforma- tion. 2. Name the four principal ways a structural geologist can learn Chapter 2 about structural geology and rock deformation. How would you rank them? 1. What are the flow parameters discussed in this chapter? Field work, physical experiments, remote sensing (in- Flow parameters desc
